Compiler Warning (level 1) C4273

'function' : inconsistent DLL linkage

Two definitions in a file differ in their use of dllimport.

Examples

The following sample generates C4273, and shows how to fix it.

// C4273.cpp
// compile with: /W1 /c
char __declspec(dllimport) c;
char c;   // C4273, delete this line or the line above to resolve

The following sample generates C4273. To fix it, delete the redeclaration of printf_s.

// C4273_b.cpp
// compile with: /W1 /clr /c
#include <stdio.h>
extern "C" int printf_s(const char *, ...);   // C4273
